Data includes all non-zero performance events. It is collected at user-defined times, reported on demand, and also stored to enable detailed trending analysis. Circuit counts are sortable by worst to best performance. netFLEX® transport PM enables providers to quickly determine priority of circuit maintenance, in order to reduce circuit failures

Ethernet PM netFLEX® supports real-time collection and Ethernet PM analysis across a wide range of vendor network element types, presenting the results to the user via its central GUI interface and powerful reporting. Features include

User definable timeframe and statistics collected

Direct retrieval of data from network elements

Manual and automatic refresh of data

Auto-protect capabilities to minimize network congestion.

Performance management and service level agreement (SLA) reports provide all necessary information about transmit and receive volumes, peak and average utilizations, and errors for services and interface ports.

Additional Ethernet PM capabilities include a forecast module to help predict exhaust, a threshold based reporting tool to help users focus on key parameters, and tools to display and analyze day to day Ethernet traffic growth.
